Abstract: An integrated heating airspeed tube and an unmanned aerial vehicle where the integrated heating airspeed tube has a tube body and a heating component. The tube body is provided with a heating cavity, the heating component is located inside the heating cavity, and the heating component and the tube body are integrally formed. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes the integrated heating airspeed tube as described above. The integrated heating airspeed tube and the unmanned aerial vehicle are heated in the tube body through the heating component, so that the heating removes liquid, effectively preventing liquid from blocking the integrated heating airspeed tube, and meeting the using requirements in severe weather. At the same time, the integrated heating structure design is higher in reliability and is not easy to cause operation failure, and saves the assembly cost.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a system and method for controlling motion of a vehicle. The method comprises collecting a signal indicative of objectives of the motion and a value of the disturbances, and minimizing an objective function subject to constraints defined by the objectives of the motion to produce optimized values of parameters of a sequence of splines. The method further comprises controlling the motion of the vehicle based on a model of differentially flat dynamics of the vehicle according to an optimal path defined by the optimized values of the parameters of the sequence of splines.

Abstract: Motion steering under kino dynamic constraints is provided. A system can receive an indication to return to a route generated for autonomous navigation by the aircraft to a destination. The system can generate a vector field formed of a plurality of vectors that merge into the route. The vector field can be generated responsive to the indication to return to the route. The system can provide instructions to steer the aircraft toward the destination along the route via one or more vectors of the plurality of vectors in the vector field. The instructions can be based on a cost function applied to the vector field.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for ground control point assignment and determination. One of the methods includes receiving information describing a flight plan for the UAV to implement, the flight plan identifying one or more waypoints associated with geographic locations assigned as ground control points. A first waypoint identified in the flight plan is traveled to, and an action to designate a surface at the associated geographic location is designated as a ground control point. Location information associated with the designated surface is stored. The stored location information is provided to an outside system for storage.
